Oh wow, why did I fall for that trap again?
You ask questions about Buddhism and then rant about how great Judaism is? 
Respect my reasoning for not blindly adhering to another man's beliefs, even if he claims the 'Almighty God Himself' spoke these words to him. Thanks!
PS. Oh and please! Enough with the ad hominem attacks!
Please. Youve stuck those oe me since we began talking.
Get something through your very thick head. Judaism is not Christianity. do not equate the two. Orthodox Christianity is blind faith. Judaism is not..
and only those versed in its esoteric dimension understands that.
I have no problem with Buddhism, as i said. I have buddhists friends and i have respect for the good parts of buddhism. I respect Zen buddhism, much
much more, than i do tibetan buddhism. I respect simplicity, and thats what Judaism is to me.
and of course many others pursue simplicity. But, with a dose and flame of bohemianism, and full out indulgence.
That of course, is insulting, and sickening to warp as something 'holy and righteous. So whos the Self RIGHTEOUS one? the one who sees an action for
what it is, or the one who has convinced himself, through philosophy, that bohemianism is ok, and natural.
and please.. .do not tell me Buddhism doesnt talk of these things. they do. very much.
Going to bed now.
Heres a pic to remind you that the attendees to bohemian grove (before the owl of athena was installed) worshipped by a statue of the buddah. How
holy, these white robed, white men look.
Creepy if you ask me. Just creepy.
